Barkley sounds drunk.

They all think that it was inadvertent. They are all wrong.

Is Green suspended? That kick didn't look intentional to me but Green's play tonight was stupid that he deserves a suspension for playing stupid.

This was the worst game of GS's season, IMO. There were a few games this year when they lost because they just didn't show up but tonight they showed up and the whole team played dumb. FWIW, I think part of the overall problem is that you can run all the plays you want through Green but you can't have Green controlling the game. Curry's actually pretty good at controlling the overall tempo of a game and changing speed, style, etc. when it's important to do so but for whatever reason--maybe, doh, because he don't have a lot of experience running a team--Green makes pretty good situational decisions but doesn't always make good big picture decisions. When Curry was out, Green took over, for the most, running the team. Curry needs to take the keys back, even if he's not 100% right now.

If Green gets suspended, I'm not sure GS is going to be able to take this series to 6, much less 7. I'd be very surprised if Green doesn't get suspended. The replay of him and Adams looks worse to than Jones's Biyombo kick . . . and Jones got suspended. Maybe Green gets two games?

I'm confused about Kerr's overall strategy in this series. He's played everyone. Why not tighten the rotations? Maybe everyone's hurting?

Steve Adams is cool.
Draymond Green not cool anymore.
Can't do the "Can-Can" on a dudes nads. Looked very deliberate to me.

Whats cool about adams is he knows he's gonna take a beating but he does not respond.
He is "winning" while guys like Draymond keep talking and making faces.

How in the world is Kevin Love only 31% on 2P%? That's down right awful and yet Lue is getting credit for his resurgence.

Why not look at how well he converts shots inside the arc and around the basket???

Love looks very mediocre when he is NOT jacking up open 3-point shots. He struggles to finish both posting up and around the rim due to his lack of offensive polish plus an overall lack of athleticism.

This inability inside the arc is a glaring weakness that will likely get worse with age.

you basing your statement on this series or his career?

Love shoots 48% from 2 for his career. That is very very good especially when his most/more efficient shot is the 3.

Durant's range and length make him one of the best scorers I've ever seen.

No Green suspension, yet . . . if it was going to happen, wouldn't it have happened?

probably serious deliberation on this. based on the broadcast last night, the NBA may feel that they could get away with not suspending him though he really deserves it.

Have watched the replay a number of times, and read that Green says he was just "flailing" to pick up the foul.

Problems is that he did it once before...in this series. If he is not suspended there is something going on behind the scenes that we are not privy to.

He should be in street clothes game 4.

It will be ridiculous if he isn't suspended. Usually they take their time though- I seem to remember they did with JR

Stu Jackson on Gottlieb's show said Green's foul was a flagrant two. Hopefully the nba sees it that way. He also mentioned that intent is not considered when they look at the play.

I did and that sucks too but people have been applauding Love for his better inside play but yet his numbers from 2 sucks.

He is shooting the 3 and rebounding but he is a better player than what he is showing

Hmmmmmm. Still no suspension.

I think it's likely it wasn't intentional but Green has been playing crazy ball for the last couple of game, flinging his appendages everywhere so . . . suspending him just for flinging himself everywhere, including Adams balls, sounds roughly fair.

Without Green . . . and probably without much, if any, Bogut, the next game is going to be interesting. Maybe Iggy has something left in his tank . . .

Draymond Green makes it hard to root for the Warriors. He intentionally tried to injure Mike Conley in the playoffs last year when they were down 2-1 to the Grizz, kicking/stepping on Conley's already injured face after the play was over. They had to put

These aren't accidents. He's a dirty player.

Conley needed two plates in his face.

Sounds like they might suspend him. If they weren't going to suspend him, I doubt they'd make an announcement...

They need to. What he is doing on the court isn't safe and it isn't basketball. I liked a lot of Stu Jackson's quotes but when he referenced flailing as trying to 'trick the refs' I thought he was spot on.
